Pretty messed up. Like when he was on a tour of Africa in 2009 and told people that condoms "increase the problem" of AIDS.

It's pretty sad when it's considered a step in the right direction and he isn't even sanctioning the use of condoms in general. Only if you are at risk of killing someone with AIDS. And I like how he threw the bit in there about "even if it prevents a pregnancy."

It's a step, though! Trying to think positively about this, which is hard.

Meh. It's more likely that he just thinks the condoms might prevent the spread of The Gay. I mean, all those gay babies can't come from straight parents, right? (And the pope needs more good, heterosexual, Catholic babies for his...er, flock.)
